Conan Rick's Investigator

"While this case could be an indiscriminate killing, the possibility of an ABC murder cannot be ruled out."

"These detective novel writers are really nothing. They don't consider the impact and consequences when they write, and they provide the murderer with crime ideas for free."

Hearing this, Conan inexplicably thought of his old father. If Yusaku heard this, he would probably feel offended.

At the same time, Conan also silently memorized another character trait of Qin Zhibo in his heart.

They can read detective novels, but they do not appreciate the people who write them. Their reason is that these detective novels with cleverly designed cases will provide criminals with ideas for committing crimes.

Such a sense of justice made Conan even more convinced that Qin Zhibo was a good person.

However, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Maori were confused after hearing what Qin Zhibo said. They asked in unison: "What is the ABC murder case?"

In fact, Qin Zhibo had seen the movie version of The ABC Murders in a movie commentary in his previous life, but he had not actually read the original novel, and he had almost forgotten the specific details.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo chose to let more professional science popularization tools people to provide science popularization to these non-professionals at the murder scene.

"Conan, you should know about the ABC murder case..."

"Why don't you give these uncles some scientific knowledge?"

At this moment, Conan looked at Qin Zhibo's extremely serious expression, and silently added a prefix in his heart: "Qin Zhibo is a good person."

Qin Zhibo is a good guy with a bit of a bad side.

Chapter 184: Inspector Megure: Brother Qin! No!

Qin Zhibo's words made everyone look at Conan with suspicion.

In this case, Conan certainly cannot start popularizing science without restraint.

Although they had previously used the excuse of "learning it from TV" to get away with it, if Uncle Mori or Ran Mori really got serious, they would find that there were no related TV programs on TV recently.

So, Conan put on his classic grin, squinted his eyes and smirked, and said, "I'm just an elementary school student. How could I possibly understand the ABC murder case?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Conan, with an awkward smile, was unwilling to explain the story, and Qin Zhibo was too lazy to expose Conan's disguise, so he explained it himself in the most concise sentence: "The ABC Murder Case is about murdering a large number of targets, disguising himself as a serial killer to cover up the one person he really wanted to kill."

"Inspector Megure, there should be more than one victim in the cocktail bar, right?"

Inspector Megure nodded hesitantly.

Qin Zhibo continued his reasoning, "But there was only one victim of the explosion here: Nakajima Hideaki. And judging by the angle of the metal plate's bend, the impact of the explosion actually came from inside the suitcase."

"So, the bomb in this place was actually in Nakajima Hideaki's suitcase when it exploded. Investigating the people who had contact with Nakajima Hideaki's suitcase should be the key to solving the case."

Qin Zhibo's words were like a revelation to Inspector Megure, who immediately ordered his men to bring over all the people related to Nakajima Hideaki, including his colleagues and the lady at the front desk.

Qin Zhibo did this in order to make rational use of his detective identity and police resources so that he could solve the case more quickly.

Otherwise, it would be too time-consuming for me to search the hotel alone for investigation points and relevant personnel.

However, next to Qin Zhibo, Conan looked at Qin Zhibo suspiciously with a pair of eyes under his glasses.

Cocktail Bar...

Just now, Qin Zhibo said the place "cocktail bar" without hesitation, but Inspector Megure only said that an explosion occurred in a bar on the top floor of the Daikoku Building.

Is it...

Has Qin Zhibo been to that bar before?

In addition to reading, Qin Zhibo’s daily hobby is also going to the bar to drink?

Reading and drinking, these two hobbies are like drinking alcohol and cephalosporin, they really don't go together...

If an ordinary person made a slip of the tongue like "You don't know, I know but I shouldn't know" at a murder scene, the cunning Conan would definitely wonder if he was the real culprit.

But Conan didn't think so about Qin Zhibo.

Because Qin Zhibo is a good person.

No.

He's a good guy with a bit of a bad side...

……

Inspector Megure's men were very efficient and soon found all the people related to Nakajima Hideaki and his suitcase.

Since the bomb was in the suitcase, Inspector Megure prioritized having his men bring in the two ladies from the cloakroom for questioning.

The answers they got were predictable: they had never left their posts without permission, and none of them knew Nakajima Hideaki.

Then, Inspector Megure asked his men to bring in a colleague who had a close relationship with Nakajima Hideaki.

"I heard that you two were both college classmates of the deceased and are now his colleagues."

"So, do you guys usually have any friction with each other, or do you know if Mr. Nakajima has any enemies?"

Inspector Megure's interrogation doesn't require much technique, it's just like herding pigs in a small alley - straightforward and plain language.

As expected, the two colleagues began to expose each other's negative information.

"When he was in college, Takeshita had a crush on a girl in the boxing club. He told this secret to Nakajima, and Nakajima began to pursue her fiercely."

"After getting the girl, Nakajima dumped her when they graduated from university. The girl couldn't accept it and committed suicide." Officer No. 2 Yokomizo reported the truth.

Hearing this, Takeshita became furious and quickly retaliated, "I've completely forgotten about that thing you mentioned! Besides, haven't you and him been having a bad time lately? Because the game idea was plagiarized..."

Both men had motives.

Moreover, Inspector Megure quickly scanned his brain and felt that he seemed to have heard similar versions of these two motives in other places recently.

By analogy, both of them are likely to kill people...

Just when Inspector Megure was in a difficult situation, Qin Zhibo suddenly pointed at Takeshita who was wearing glasses.

"Could you open your suitcase so we can all have a look?"

Upon hearing this, Takeshita immediately hugged the suitcase tightly with both hands as if in a stress reaction.

This immediately made Inspector Megure, who had originally thought it was nothing, suspicious.

Is there something hidden in his suitcase?

This time the murderer used a bomb placed in a box. Could it be that there was also a bomb in his own box?

This thought made Inspector Megure, who usually pays great attention to the procedures in handling cases, immediately wave his hand and say, "Quickly take the box from him!"

The classic stacking tactic hit Takeshita's fragile body and directly knocked him down.

A pair of silver-framed glasses fell to the ground and the suitcase in his hand was snatched away by the police.

Inspector Megure, who had little experience in bomb disposal, used multiple methods such as observation, smell, questioning and palpation on the box, and even wondered in his heart whether he needed to call the explosive ordnance disposal team to deal with it.

But at this moment, a pair of hands suddenly jumped out and opened the buckle of the box.

"what!"

"Brother Qin! No!"

Inspector Megure, who was not yet satisfied with his life, waved his hands and screamed, and Kogoro Mouri, Conan and others beside him also showed jaw-dropping expressions.

However, Qin Zhibo's jaw-dropping move did not really make these people drop their jaws, because there was no bomb that produced intense light and heat, but two computer disks in a plastic bag.

Qin Zhibo took out the disk and found a note on it, but it was in English.

"Chew the skin...Pittel..."

Inspector Megure's English was very unfamiliar, almost impossible to understand, and it was Qin Zhibo, a Hawaiian, who had to interpret the meaning of the above.

"puter programmer list, computer programmer list..."

Upon hearing this, another colleague who had been hiding his head in his arms came over and asked in confusion, "Isn't this a confidential company document? How come…"

"Are you secretly stealing company secrets and selling them to rival companies?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the reaction on Takeshita's face. Takeshita was also surprised by the things in the suitcase.

In fact, the reason why Qin Zhibo was so determined to check Takeshita's suitcase was because the investigation point was on the suitcase in Takeshita's hand.

【Survey√】

【There is a surprise inside (not a bomb)】

It was precisely because of this investigation report that Qin Zhibo dared to open the suitcase so boldly.

When Qin Zhibo saw this thing for the first time, he didn't know how the contents inside could help solve the case.

The moment Qin Zhibo heard what Yokogome No. 2 said, he figured it out.

Not only the truth behind Nakajima Hideaki's murder, but also the purpose of Hirota Yukio's coming here.

Chapter 185: A World Without Tequila

When Qin Zhibo was about to tell the answer in his heart, the famous detective Maori Kogoro next to him suddenly spoke.

"I understand everything!"

"Although Mr. Takeshita stole the company's confidential documents, he is not the real murderer of Mr. Nakajima!"

"The real murderer is actually..."

While taking a deep breath, Kogoro Mouri struck a handsome pose, turned sideways to face everyone, and pointed at Yokomizo No. 2 with his backhand.

"Mr. Ueda! Actually, you are the real murderer!"

Yokomizo No. 2, who was listed as a suspect, opened his eyes wide and pointed at himself in disbelief, as if asking, "Are you talking about me?"

Maori Kogoro understood this expression and nodded affirmatively: "That's right! The murderer is you."

"In fact, the suitcase containing the bomb was not originally Mr. Nakajima's, but yours, Mr. Ueda."

"Your murder plan was to place a bomb in your suitcase beforehand, and then deliberately check in your suitcase at the front desk to create a serial number with Mr. Nakajima."

"That way, you can just secretly replace Mr. Nakajima's suitcase number and key at the venue, and you can 'exchange' your suitcase containing the bomb with Mr. Nakajima's."

"This company's suitcases all have the same specifications. When Mr. Nakajima went to the front desk to pick up his suitcase, he had no way of realizing that he was actually taking someone else's suitcase."

Kogoro Mouri confidently expressed his reasoning, which caused different reactions from people around him.

Inspector Megure looked surprised with a hint of relief: "Well done! Brother Mori, you can leave work early again!"

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly: Please, it was Mr. Ueda who reminded me to check the items in the bag at the front desk.

If he was the murderer, and Nakajima had followed his advice and opened the suitcase to check, wouldn't he have been blown to the sky?

However, the method proposed by Uncle Maori this time is very feasible and can be regarded as a good progress...

Ok?

Katsa——

A flash of lightning flashed in Conan's mind, and he got some inspiration from Maori Kogoro's reasoning.

There was a look of relief in Qin Zhibo's eyes, but it was just a kind of "relief": the fact that he could think of the murder method showed that Kogoro Mouri's ability to solve cases was indeed better than most people.

But unexpectedly, there were only two suspects left, and Maori Kogoro could eliminate one more suspect if he thought of a way...

I would like to call you the greatest law of the late 20th century - the law of miss of Kogoro Mori's true murderer.

However, after reasoning for this point, Qin Zhibo had to take action himself.

Because he glanced at Conan who was thinking seriously with his chin held next to him, and from Conan's expression, it seemed that he was gradually understanding everything.

In order to prove that his reasoning was correct, Kogoro Mouri asked Ueda to take out the key from his pocket and open his suitcase.

"As long as the things in the suitcase belong to Mr. Nakajima, then you are the murderer!"

Just as Kogoro Mori was about to enjoy the joy of victory, a pair of hands pressed on his shoulders.

"Detective Maori, congratulations..."

“It’s just a little bit away from the truth.”

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Kogoro Mouri was about to scratch his head and say "No, no," and then he showed the same smile as Venom.

However, after Qin Zhibo finished the second half of his sentence, Maori Kogoro's face instantly fell.
